Grevillea scabra, commonly known as the rough-leaved grevillea, is a shrub of the genus Grevillea native to an area in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

The shrub typically grows to a height of 1 to 1.5 metres (3.3 to 4.9 ft) and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple leaves with a blade that is 10 to 30 millimetres (0.39 to 1.18 in) long and 1 to 6 mm (0.04 to 0.24 in) wide. It blooms in October and produces a terminal raceme irregular inflorescence with white or cream flowers and white or cream styles. Later it forms a simple oblique or ellipsoidal hairy fruit that is 10 to 13 mm (0.4 to 0.5 in) long.
